The Perfect Happiness
The Eps 11
Tika POVs.
If you count, today is the tenth day after Jefri and I returned from our honeymoon island. And exactly one week I was staying at my In-laws' house. They treated me very well, like their own son.
Every morning I help Mama Alena to the market, because indeed in this house there is no housekeeper like in my house. All Mama Alena's own homework is done. Fortunately, my mother has taught me many things about the cleanliness of the house, whether it's sweeping, mopping the floor, cleaning the furniture even to wash clothes with a rub of my hands I've done. So I'm not too stiff doing that at my in-laws' house.
"Maa's to Maa." I said while kissing Mama's cheek.
Yes it is my custom with my Mom at home, which I bring to my in-laws house. Fortunately, they welcome this habit of mine.
"Dear, Dul isn't awake yet?"
"Udah the hell, but do not know what else brushes." I took a glass of water and then gulped it until it runs out.
"You're going to the hospital today, right?"
"Yes, Ma. 10 Hours. How did Mama know?"
"Last night Papa told me. Are you sure you want to come?" ask Mama while preparing breakfast.
"Yes, but I'm waiting in Haikal's room."
"Related?" Mama ensured.
I nodded my head slowly.
"Is Papa Temenin also there?" asked Papa who suddenly appeared in the kitchen.
"Ga need Pa, Dul can definitely nyelesein really. I believe in him." I answered steadily.
----------------------
Jefri POV's.
I decided to go downstairs immediately after my wife for breakfast. I saw that Papa had already entered the kitchen when I went down the stairs.
I stopped my steps when Papa offered to accompany us to the hospital today. I also heard the answer Tika said.
"Ga need Pa, Dul can definitely nyelesein really. I believe in him." said Tika.
I was filled with simple words coming out of my wife's mouth. How sincere her heart is to trust me again as her husband. I can't let her down, my heart.
I let a few moments of them discuss lightly. Then I went into the kitchen and joined them for breakfast.
"When will there be any news Papa huh? Let Papa go straight there." Papa told me after we finished breakfast.
"If you're not alone, will you wait there?" ask Mama again.
"No, there will be Lisa and Ma, Alex too" I replied briefly.
"Yes, Papa left first. Papa had a meeting this morning." said Papa while walking to kiss Mama's forehead and then left.
Me and Tika went straight back to the room and prepared to finish all this.
------------------
Alex POV's.
This morning I woke up with a lot of spirit. A different spirit than usual. I made an agreement with Lisa to pick her up at 9 and then we'll meet Tika and Jefri at Haikal's hospital.
I was thinking of letting Jefri and Tika solve their own problems. We don't have to follow camour in this, just we know the story. But because Lisa was very excited to help her best friend so I also suddenly felt I had to take part in this problem.
True, Lisa said, we have to help them so that their marriage runs smoothly and safely forever. Because we are indirectly involved.
I also probably wouldn't have the heart to let Jefri face it alone. Jefri knows better than me, and I think of him as my brother. We've been friends for a long time, and more or less I know a lot about his relationship with Paula. From the stories she often shared with me, I was able to judge how Paula behaved.
That woman is too cunning. I would also feel anxious if I was in Jefri's position.
With steadiness I drove my car to Lisa's house to pick her up. Had crossed my brain, it turns out I did not choose the wrong wife. Lisa is also a noble hearted and loyal friend. In such circumstances he is not selfish. He still wants to help his best friend, Tika.
Though there are still many other things that are mandatory in his mind. Our relationship is one of them.
"I will not calm down if I go to Tika with such conditions without me at her side. You know Tika only has me make up stories." Lisa explained while beside me.
"Yes, I hope Paula doesn't do it later. You keep Tika temenin ya later." I'm warning.
We're on our way to the hospital.
"Where are you going to call them?" my advice to Lisa, she immediately contacted Tika.
Lisa grabs her phone and calls Tika.
"Hallo, Mouse? Where the hell?" greet Lisa.
"Oh yes, we are too. How's pablo? Is there any connection?" ask Lisa again.
"Well, see you.." Lisa cut off her phone.
"They're on the street, they're almost there" Lisa told me.
"Good indeed. I hope Paula doesn't squirm Pablo shows up." I hope.
"Yes hopefully.."
We arrived at the hospital basement. In the corner I also saw Jefri's car parked neatly there. Shortly after, Pablo's car passed us, parked not far from Jefri's car. We got out of the car and stepped towards them.
"Hallo, Kal? We're in the basement.. Look, oh okay, wait there?" tika spoke on her phone.
"Yep, Haikal is waiting upstairs." he asked.
We all headed to the elevator.
"Lu brought the DNA results, right?" jefri asked Pablo in the elevator.
"Yes bring it. What kind of sick cave boy is that? How many months in the hospital?" pablo asked while looking at us in turn.
"The cave doesn't know. Last time the cave met, he had surgery because he had difficulty breathing. That's it." explained Jefri relaxed while embracing Tika.
"When Paul met the cave, he didn't?" pablo asked with blank eyes.
We all throw one another's eyes.
"Maybe in the beginning he will be confused first. It's a little hard to explain this to a 5-year-old. But you have to be optimistic, the embrace of a biological father must feel different. Yes, you have to be a pinter to treat your basaha so that Paul can understand. The important thing is that you do it with the heart and it will be recorded in his memory, the rest of it let God set the course." Tika cerocos was long but on target.
I agree with Tika's mindset.
Ting..
The sound of the elevator, our sign has reached the floor we want to. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Haikal was already standing there gallantly. Wearing his doctor's all-white suit with light blue mix.
"We go to the cave room first." Haikal invited him to turn and step in front of us, we followed him.
"So the cave went to the doctor who nanganin Paul. His condition is stable. But he still uses an oxygen tank. The body is still a bit weak, but we come as guests who visit him." explained Haikal when we were hard to gather in his room.
"At this time Haikal again with his Grandmother, Paula again in the doctor's room for consultation, because then Paula applied for outpatient treatment" added Haikal again.
"What sick cave boy?" ask Pablo worriedly.
"There is a lower respiratory tract infection, it includes pneumonia and bronchitis. A few months ago he was in surgery, the results of his operation went smoothly and safely. Paul was supposed to be able to go home last week. But all of a sudden he was back asphyxiated." Haikal was serious about Pablo.
Pablo looked anxious, his face was sad.
"Well, we're going there now? Your temenin cave is coming to see your son." haikal bargained.
We all nodded. Jefri hugged Tika.
"Doain is a splinter, huh?" he asked as he clutched his wife's body tightly.
Tika did not speak. He was only seen tightening his hold on Jefri's burly body. Jefri kissed Tika on the forehead, then they looked at each other and smiled.
"Don't get emotional." Tika reminded Jefri.
"Yes, can I have a kiss?" ask Jefri slowly.
Tika immediately cupped her hands on Jefri's cheeks and kissed Jefri's friendly lips. Lisa who was holding my hand as if tightening her grip. I turned my head, there was a puddle of water in the corner of his eyes, my reflexes dyed the top of his head.
"Everything will be fine." I said.
Then we all went out, leaving Lisa and Tika in the room.
Ah my mind's gone awry. I got a quick look at Jefri's face, just like thinking hard. As if you are stringing a sentence to be easily understood by children aged 5 years.
I try to be relaxed. I hope nothing happens. My prayer in my heart.
Chequek.....
"Body??" he pulled the boy out of his bed.
Next to him was an elderly woman who was feeding him.
Jefri stepped closer to the boy, "How are you doing Paul?"
"I'm well. Get me out of here Pi. I'm bored.." whine that kid to Jefri.
Jefri just ruffled the boy's hair with a smile. Then Jefri walked over to the old woman next to the bed.
"Tante, how are you?" greet Jefri while shaking hands and kissing the back of the woman's hand.
"Well." answered the woman briefly, without turning to look at Jefri's face.
"Sorry Aunt, I'm here to explain something. Either Aunt knows or she doesn't. Pablo.." call Jefri.
Pablo approached and thrust his hand at the old woman whom I assumed was Paula's mother. The woman brushed Pablo's hand off.
"Whose papa is this?" ask Paul suddenly.
Jefri stood moving next to the other bed.
"Paul, this is Paul's father" Jefri said with a smile.
------------------------
Jefri POV's.
"Dad?" paul was confused and looked at Pablo in confusion.
Pablo sat on the edge of the bed. With a happy face, "Dad can ask for a hug?"
Paul just nodded. Pablo immediately hugged Paul and repeatedly kissed the top of his son's head.
From the moment Paul was born, he could only see it from a distance. Just this time he touched and meowed his own son, his flesh blood all this time. I walked away from there, letting father and son be both.
"The nyokab knows what?" alex whispered as I approached him, standing beside him.
"Come." I answered briefly.
We let them both chat. Pablo gave a parcel to Paul who had been in his car.
"This is for my son" said Pablo.
"What's this?" Paul immediately opened the parcel, "Wah transformer. Thanks Dad." exclaimed Paul happily.
Not long after that the door opened again.
"What-is-is??" it was Paula who was surprised to see that we were all here.
Moreover, when his eyes are fixed on Pablo and Paul who look familiar on the bed. Paula quickly stepped up to grab the toy that Paul was playing with and threw it in any direction.
Bruukk..
The toy was destroyed. We all looked at his behavior. Paul whined and started crying.
"Gapain you here? Out!!!" drive Paula to Pablo.
"Can't I see my own son, my flesh and blood?" pablo didn't want to lose.
"He's not your son, he's a cave boy. The cave that born him and you are not who he is. The cave does not know you." cried Paula echoed in this room.
"When do you want to lie to everyone? Huh uh?" Pablo started to stand up from his bed.
The two of them tightened their necks. Arguing loudly. Until Paula's mother finally mediated.
"Have it!! It's already!! Enough's enough!! You guys don't fuckin' like Paul? He needs rest. It takes affection and attention, it doesn't take an embarrassing spectacle like this!!" he shouted no less loudly that made Paula and Pablo finally speechless.
Paul was crying. Whining because his new toy is destroyed.
Me, Alex and Haikal just fell silent, looking at each other. Then Haikal dared to open his voice.
"Let Paul rest.. Sorry ma'am, we're interrupting, we're begging you to leave" Haikal said.
Paula's mother just nodded slowly, "Bring them both out, my granddaughter needs a break" he said.
Outside the room, Paula pulled my hand, "So this is your way?"
I looked at him pityfully, "Paul needs his real father. Not lies. Again you have hurt Paul. I just want Paul to get well soon."
"Cure with this son of a bitch?" sahut Paula with a high tone.
Suddenly Pablo pulled Paula's hand and dragged her to the outside of the hospital.
We were chasing them both, fearing Pablo Khilaf or the Caliph Paula.
"I'm a jerk? In what way am I the jerk?? Answer!!!" pablo exclaimed after releasing Paula's arm so hard that Paula fell on the floor complete with her tears.
"So blind are you in the same position as me? Huh uh?!" yell again.
"Should I remind you again how you came? How did you whine asking me to satisfy your desires back then?" then Pablo approached her, crouching down.
"You asked me not to use*****, because you are tired of Jefri always using ******. Many times I remind myself that I can't control. But many times you also said that you could take a preventative pill."
Paula is getting hysterical, but Pablo is not only there to reopen Paula's memory.
"Initially when you had a fight with Jefri, you came to the house, venting all your anger on me. Then now you're saying I'm a jerk?!" he added again while poking Paula's cheek.
Paula moved away, wiped away her tears, and looked at me with anger. Then attack me suddenly.
"All because of****** that. ****** jerk.********** bastard.." he said while beating my body until I was knocked against the wall.
I let him beat me as he pleased, I covered my face with my arms. Then suddenly, "Plaaakk!"
I was surprised, as soon as I opened my arms, it was Paula's mother who made the slap sound on her son's smooth cheek. With trembling hands he looked at his sad son.
"Mama never taught your mouth like gini.. Mama never taught you to sacrifice the lives of others to take away your sins. Forgiving your sins is hard for you, now you are dragging more people to sin with you. Where did you learn all that? Answer Mama!!" he was firm while crying.
Paula covered her face with both palms. There was the sound of her sobs, and her body suddenly fell to the floor. Paula fainted.
Haikal immediately took Paula to the ER with the sisters she called. As for me, Alex, Pablo and Paula's mother still standing in the same place. Her mother's body began to limp, I quickly caught her until we sat on the floor. She cried.
"Tante.." said Pablo to us.
"You come in, accompany Paul, he's alone in his room." he said on the sidelines of his cries.
Pablo went into Paul's room.
"Aunty apologizes on behalf of Auntie's son." said he was still interrupted by her crying, "If Auntie knew where the man was, Auntie would not stay silent like this. Many times Aunt asked, many times she also replied if you want to think of Paul as your child." he said.
I glanced at Alex who was right behind him.
"Tante, I love Paul, but for more than that, I honestly can't. And Paula changed a lot after she introduced her son to me." I explained.
"Aunty who is sorry, you have to take care of all this" he said while removing his tears, "Your wife even became a scapegoat from Paula. Aunt really is sorry."
Spontaneously I grabbed Paula's mother, "I'm the wrong Aunt, maybe it should have been from the beginning, during a scuffle with Paula, I didn't....."
"Everything's happened. Aunty just wants Aunt's grandson healthy and quickly out of here." he said.
Then with a sag, I grabbed him, returned to Paul's room, assisted by Alex. I saw Paul was asleep hugging Pablo.
"Aunty drink first.." Alex offered me a glass of mineral water.
After he calmed down a bit, Alex and I said goodbye to go home. He permits.
"Tomorrow, bring your wife here. Aunty wants to apologize." he asked.
"Definitely Aunt. Excuse me.." I said.
Then Alex and I got out of there, leaving Pablo sleeping with his son Paul.
